Dil's Funerals Say The New Year A Good Time To Think About What Should Happen With The Ashes

Many people struggle when it comes to deciding where to place the ashes, and as time passes, this decision can appear even more difficult to make. Dil’s Funerals are there to help you with these difficult choices. When deciding what to do there are basically three options for you to consider:

Inter the ashes

Scatter the ashes

Keep the ashes

What is best for you depends on personal choice.

Interment is burying the ashes in a cemetery or some other special place. For some, having a special place to visit and a grave to tend can be very important.

Most cemeteries have special areas set aside for the interment of ashes, and in most instances you may choose the plot. These areas can include options such as gardens, lawn areas, and trees. Most ash plots make provision for two interments and a memorial to mark the plot.

Ashes may be scattered in selected areas at the cemetery, or at another location that perhaps has special meaning for the deceased. You’re usually able to scatter ashes anywhere. However, sensitivity and common sense should be exercised (along with obtaining any permission required) if scattering in a public place, or somewhere that has cultural meaning.

When ashes have been scattered you may still wish to have a memorial of some sort. Options may include a Memorial Wall Bronze Plaque or ash plot at a cemetery. You don’t have to have the ashes scattered or interred in the cemetery grounds to have a memorial there.

Ashes may be kept for a variety of reasons. A great deal of comfort may be gained from taking ashes home, and it’s completely acceptable to do this. Dil’s have a wide range of urns to choose from. Urns come in a variety of styles, materials, finishes and sizes, and what is right for you is simply a matter of personal preference or what you plan to do with the ashes.
